England: Injury Kings. And Ferdinand. And Upson. And Jam...

Clearly the big news to come out of South Africa in the last 24 hours is that England have not only lost their captain Rio Ferdinand to injury, but also centre backs Ledley King, Mathew Upson and goalkeeper David James have picked up knocks in training. King, Upson and James missed training on saturday morning.
This comes a day after captain Rio Ferdinand failed to complete training after picking up a knee injury courtesy of an Emile Heskey challenge.
This throws Englands world cup bid into chaos. I mean, with Rio out, the captain will be Gerrard. I'm not being funny, but Terry was stripped of the captaincy for doing everything with legs. Fabio saw this act as unfitting for an England captain. Rio got it, and fair play, in the two games he was captain for, England played some of the most boring football in the history of English football, and still won. So, yeah, Stevie G's got it now. He's hardly got a sparkling past. He battered a DJ because he played "You said no" by Busted, when he specifically requested "Air Hostess". A fair act, you might say, but you forget that the DJ only owned "Now thats what I call music! 55"
Now there are rumours circulating (mainly by Me and my close personal sources(my little brother)) that Stevie got a 15 year old girl pregnant. This is our captain. A paedophile thug.
So what do these injuries mean to the England squad? It means replacing Rio will either be a broken Tottenham defender, a broken West Ham defender, an inexperienced Tottenham defender or a scouse that hasn't played competitive international football for 4 years, and only turns up for the big games. Who does he think he is, Ryan Giggs?

In other news, Carlo Ancelotti will no doubt be nursing a migraine as TWO MORE Chelsea players look set to miss the world cup. John Obi Mikel and Didier Drogba are no doubt going to miss the world cup alongside Michael Essien and Michael Ballack. There must be something in the water. Arjen Robben is also a major doubt, but its hard to care about that.
